A lot of songs are written about lust and the immediate rush of falling head over heels in love with someone, but few seem to sum up its deliriousness as brilliantly as Latch, the latest single from brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence, aka Disclosure. Featuring full-bodied vocals from newcomer Sam Smith, it's a slowly unravelling ode to the thrill of wanting to figuratively (and possibly literally) latch on to someone else: "Now I've got you in my space, I won't let go of you / I've got you shackled in my embrace, I'm latching on to you." For the video – premiered here – (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93ASUImTedo)
we get to see a lot of good-looking people basically just getting off with each other in various locations – in a lift, on a bed and, finally, on a revolving platform of some kind. Latch is the duo's first single since signing a deal with PMR Records, who recently released Jessie Ware's first album, so know a thing or two about songs that feel emotionally direct and intimate.
You left my heart out
When the rest of me is down
You, you enchanted me, even when you are not around
If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down
I’m latching on they
Now I know what I have found
I feel you close enough
I wanna latch in your love
I think we’re close enough
Cuz I latch when you’re mine
Now I got you in my space
I won’t let go with you
What you shackle in my embrace
I’m latching on you
Now I got you in my space
I won’t let go with you
What you shackle in my embrace
I’m latching on you
I’m so encaptured, got wrapped up in your touch
Feel so enamored, hold me tighter then your clutch
How do you do it, you got me losing every breath
Why did you give me to make my heart bleed out my chest
I feel you close enough
I wanna latch in your love
I think we’re close enough
Could I latch in your love, baby
I feel we’re close enough
I wanna latch in your love
I think we’re close enough
Could I latch in your love, baby
Now I got you in my space
I won’t let go with you
What you shackled in my embrace
I’m latching on you
Now I got you in my space
I won’t let go with you
What you shackled in my embrace
I’m latching on you
latching on you
I won’t let go with you
(I won’t let go)
latching on you
I won’t let go with you
